Chapter 969 Illness
As soon as Xiao Xixi saw the stall owner's face, she knew that he was a habitual thief.
What can a thief sell that is not legitimate? It must be stolen goods!
She really thought that this thief was too bold.
Other thieves are eager to stay away from the crowd and try not to appear in crowded places. Even if they want to sell the stolen goods, they usually ask acquaintances for help. There are very few people like the short stall owner in front of him who dare to sell the stolen goods in person.
The stall owner put on a cowardly attitude, trying to scare Xiao Xixi away.
As a result, instead of being scared away, Xiao Xixi was tied up tightly by the guards who suddenly appeared.
The stall owner tried to struggle and resist, but his mediocre skills were no match for the well-trained guards.
In the end, not only was the person taken away, but the stolen goods on the stall were also confiscated.
Xiao Xixi and Luo Qinghan returned to the carriage.
The carriage drove smoothly towards the palace.
Seeing Xiao Xixi still fiddling with the sachet, Luo Qinghan couldn't help but ask.
"Is this what you call an unexpected gain?"
"Yes, this sachet may help us solve the truth about the poisoning of Princess Ying," Xiao Xixi opened the sachet and took out two scented pills from it. "The smell of these scented pills is a bit strange. I suspect there is poison in them."
In the eyes of others, this is just a sachet with exquisite workmanship.
But in Xiao Xixi's eyes, a faint light of blood could be seen.
That is an ominous sign.
The same bloody light she had seen in the British palace in the afternoon was the ruby spoon that had been tampered with.
The timing was so coincidental that she had to suspect that the two were related.
When we returned to the palace, it was already getting late.
Luo Qinghan planned to find someone to inspect the sachet the next day.
However, in the middle of the night, Xiao Xixi began to vomit and have diarrhea, which scared him a lot.
He immediately ordered someone to call Fang Wujiu.
When Fang Wujiu learned that the imperial concubine was ill, he quickly put on his clothes and rushed out carrying the medicine box.
Wen Jiucheng, Pei Qianhuo and Chu Jian, who were originally sleeping soundly, were also awakened.
Chu Jian is now a member of the Yulin Guard and is qualified to enter the palace.
He hurriedly changed into jade scale clothing, took his sword, and accompanied his senior brother into the palace.
Because the imperial concubine was ill, all the candles in the Yunxiu Palace were lit. Everyone was extremely anxious, and people could be seen running back and forth everywhere.
Qingsong, who was guarding the door, saw Doctor Fang coming and immediately rushed the person inside as if he had seen a savior.
When Fang Wujiu saw Xiao Xixi, she had already vomited four times and went to the toilet three times. She was almost exhausted.
She lay curled up on the bed, her face as pale as paper, like a pitiful little shrimp.
Luo Qinghan stayed by the bed, gently stroking her back, his dark eyes filled with heartache and nervousness.
He was just about to go and urge the imperial physician, why hasn't he come yet?
When I turned around, I saw Fang Wujiu walking in hurriedly.
Luo Qinghan immediately stood up: "Go and take a look at her, she suddenly had vomiting and diarrhea, and she was complaining of stomachache."
Fang Wujiu: "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I'll show her right away."
Without even time to salute, he opened the medicine box, took out the pulse pillow, placed it under Xixi's wrist, and began to take her pulse.
When Xiao Xixi heard the senior brother's voice, she straightened her body slightly and looked back at him.
"Brother, I feel so bad."
Fang Wujiu's voice was very gentle: "Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
Xiao Xixi: "My stomach hurts, I feel nauseous and want to vomit."
Fang Wujiu reached out and gently pressed her stomach: "Does it hurt here?"
Xiao Xixi shook her head: "A little higher."
Fang Wujiu's hand moved upwards: "Here?"
Xiao Xixi nodded: "Yes."
Fang Wujiu had a rough idea in his mind.
He asked, "What did you eat tonight?"
Xiao Xixi groaned, "I don't remember."
Luo Qinghan: "We ate at the night market outside the palace tonight. She first had two big bowls of wontons, and then ate hot tofu pudding, candied haws, sesame candy, rice cakes, fried chestnuts, fried peanuts, fried yellow croaker, scallion pancakes, sesame cakes, roasted sweet potatoes, roasted corn, fried tofu, and mutton noodles."
Xiao Xixi was stunned: "How come you remember everything?"
Luo Qinghan: "I have a photographic memory."
Xiao Xixi: “…”
The academic master is awesome!
Luo Qinghan: "What kind of illness does she have?"
Fang Wujiu said calmly: "It's not a big deal, she just ate too much and caught a cold."
Xiao Xixi couldn't believe it: "I didn't eat much, how could I be so full?!"
When Eunuch Chang, who was standing nearby, heard this, his expression became quite subtle.
You've almost bankrupted the entire night market by eating your way through it, and you still think it's not enough?
You are so modest!
Baoqin didn't think the imperial concubine ate too much at all, instead she spoke seriously.
"Compared to her usual appetite, she didn't eat much tonight."
Eunuch Chang: “…”
What's with that proud little expression on your face?
Is it something you should be proud of that your royal concubine has a big appetite? !
Fang Wujiu gave instructions as he wrote the prescription.
"Your Majesty's internal injuries have not healed yet, and your physical condition is not as good as before. You must pay attention to keeping warm. Also, eat less street food. Many of the foods out there are unhygienic, and eating too much is not good for you."
Just as Xiao Xixi was about to open her mouth to refute, she felt a sharp pain in her abdomen.
Oh no, it’s time to poop again!
She hurriedly got up, holding her stomach and ran to the bathroom.
Baoqin hurriedly followed.
Fang Wujiu handed the written prescription to Qingsong.
Qingsong took the prescription and ran out quickly to get the medicine.
It was already very late, and there was no need for Fang Wujiu to run back and forth. Considering that Xixi's illness had not yet recovered, it would be safer to have an imperial physician by her side, so Luo Qinghan left Fang Wujiu in Yunxiu Palace.
Zhezhi went to clean up a guest room and invited Doctor Fang to stay there overnight.
Chu Jian breathed a sigh of relief when he learned that his senior sister was not seriously injured.
When he saw that his eldest senior brother was going to stay in Yunxiu Palace overnight, he ran over and slept in the same room with him.
The bed was very big, more than enough for two men to lie on it.
Chu Jian had just fallen asleep when he felt something furry stepping on his face.
He opened his eyes and met a pair of green eyes.
His sleepiness was instantly destroyed!
He sat up suddenly and reached for the sword beside the bed.
He heard a meow, and the orange cat that was originally stepping on him jumped to the other side of the bed.
At this time Fang Wujiu also woke up.
He first looked at the orange cat beside him, then looked at Chu Jian who was holding the sword in his hand, and quickly realized what was going on.
Fang Wujiu resisted the urge to sleep and said, "This cat is Xixi's pet. It won't hurt anyone."
Chu Jian yelled, "But it came to the bed!"
Fang Wujiu: "Come up if you want. This isn't our bed anyway. We'll sleep there for one night and then leave."
